The Business

When buying a product, you should have some idea of the functions and price range for those functions and In this instance, I looked at the price and function of the predeeding product and decided, this fits the bill and more and despite not having a 3D TV, it still functions as a normal Blu Ray DVD. One big reason for buying this was to get internet functions such as Amazon Prime, which I had an account and to be able to play any other media source such as USB. It offers all the functions of a normal DVD Blu Ray, but allows me to play music CDs as well as normal DVDs and go online, effortlessly. The sound is perfect and the picture, flawless. The wireless responds well and all the accompanying network features are not wasted. I connected this up to my sound bar and I am so pleased with the results. What you get from this Sony products, is complete compatibility with other Sony products and yet it should slot in seamlessly with non Sony products. It is austetically pleasing and the remote simple (I had the task of trying to work out the flight deck type functions from my previous model), this is, by far the most simple remote to date and yet, does what is required. All in all, buy it, it is worth the price tag.

Excellent Blu Ray Player!

BDPS7200 11/01/2018 by John From San Diego (USA)Verified Purchaser Verified

In a very crowded marketplace, it is all to easy to purchase the wrong product and be deceived by overzealous marketing hype. Sony lets their products speak for themselves. In my opinion, Sony is synonymous with quality and very good price points. The Sony BDP S7200 Blu-ray Player is a phenomenal product and has performed much better than I expected especially for such a reasonable price. If you love home theater equipment and the experience they create, the Sony BDP-S7200 Blu-ray Player is the only choice to build your own home theater on!!!

Solid Quality

I ordered this Blu-ray player to compliment our new Sony television.
It is larger than the older Samsung 3d smart Blu-ray player it replaced, but I wanted fewer remotes and hopefully a more harmonious looking connection.
Upon its first use it started up slightly slower than the previous player and on an older DVD (Shawshank Redemption) it was very noisy. My household was not impressed.
However, when a modern Blu-ray disc is inserted (Avatar), the wife and kids were so stunned at the amazing clarity (that wasn't evident in the previous player), I was praised and exonerated (and moved out of the doghouse!) for wisely investing in this Sony Bluray player

stylish and simple

we wanted a replacement b/ray player and went to a local dealers to see our options. the Sony we chose does everything we need it to do,its neat and unobtrusive yet stylish.we are very happy with our choice.

Breath Taking

This is an outstanding Blu-ray player. Handles music CDs and DVD brilliantly, It even surpasses the UBP-X800 for image quality on blu-ray playback. No image noise or latency. Just a stand up player.
My only grip is that connecting to my network and at another home where I installed this is not a simple as it should be. In both cases I had to manually input the DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
The remote is dinky but good and the chassis and tray are good for the price.
The smart options feel a little dated and a bit sluggish. None of the issues are worth detracting a star. This is a phenomenal player and can be got for a bargain price.

Deathly quiet.

Yes, very pleased with this machine. Great 3d. Very smooth operation and excellent upscaling which provides superior picture quality. Graphics could be a bit better, otherwise I strongly recommend this disc spinner. R.P.

Stunning bargain

For the money it is difficult to see how this player can be beaten. The features are just right and the quality of both sound and picture appear excellent. The menu navigation is incredibly easy to use. It took less than 5 minutes to set-up, including connecting to the web and updating the software. The remote is tiny but effective and is brilliantly functional.
I read many positive reviews before purchasing and am in complete agreement that Sony have produced a rather impressive piece of kit. If they had gone for a rather less 'plasticky' casing it would have been even better!

Excellent optics little weak on sound reproduction

BDPS7200 01/12/2016 by SAMH (USA)Verified Purchaser Verified

Bought this in combo with BXR 9300 4k. Product integration is just what I was looking for and optics - esp. for old disks upgraded to blu ray - are great. Only downside is weaker than expected sound compared to TV only sound. Still trying to figure out life to limit remotes -TV,blu ray, Xfinity - setup is SMART operator stupid, I guess.

Excellent Quality at a good price

This box is full of features. The multi core CPU is evident in its responsiveness. It gladly gives priority to the DVDs put in, so popping in a DVD/BD will immediately switch to that. Its also very silent and quality is of high quality. Would have loved a bit more output options but otherwise very good.

Very happy with this player

BDP-S7200 21/09/2016 (United Kingdom)Verified Purchaser Verified

Bought this to replace a Denon player as the Sony upscales to 4K and I'd bought a 4K TV.
Very happy with the Sony. The picture and sound quality is absolutely amazing. A big step up for me. The surprising area of performance was with DVD's (which I have many) the performance playing back DVD's is incredible. Blu Ray's are also hugely impressive, with not just vibrant colours, but a very realistic picture.
Only complaint is the worthless instructions. When will Sony start explaining what each menu item actually does? It meant lots of trial and error until I found the right settings, particularly the 4K upscaling feature.
Overall I am very happy with it

nice tv

BDPS7200 13/09/2016 by mmarkey (USA)Verified Purchaser Verified

I just received my TV a week ago and have not fully put it through its paces but so far I mostly like it although there are some things I miss like a gauge to measure signal strength and a remote that doesn't need to be pointed directly at the IR receiver.

More then just a Blu-ray

I bought this just as a player, though it has also opened up the internet to me in accessing movies and music other then my old usual way of just buying discs... Also in picture and sound, does what's expected of it .... one little quibble, is the remote feels not as positive as I would like, and sometimes requires more then a few hard presses ...

Picture perfect

I've had this about 6 weeks now and am still amazed by not only the picture quality but also the sound whether its blu ray or cd its just brilliant, in fact as a cd player through my system it beats my cd player that cost 3 times the price of this, absolutely awesome, would recommend this product to anyone

Does what it says on the box.

Wanted Blu-Ray and SACD replay functions. Not fussed about digital content streaming and catch-up television. May expand into 5.1 Surround Sound in the near future. The wireless capabilities are very useful. Picture probably deserves to be viewed on a higher resolution screen than my 100kHz HD Ready SONY Bravia.

Sony BDP-S7200

Renewing an older working DVD player even though I do not have any BlueRay disks I wanted the HD Upscaling for my TV !
Fantastic to see the old DVD film's in up scaled HD . . . The S7200 was worth every penny just for that but the best thing . . .
The USB Port - I can just copy an older PC Film (Or TV show) onto a USB plug it into the S7200 and it plays it in HD on a huge TV . . . That has got to be seen and makes it worth everything = PC Copy then Plug & Play in HD = Fantastic !

does what it should, and does it well

If you use the smart features this player is fast, and slick. My old bluray player used to stop and start when streaming online video, and browsing youtube was slow. This player starts up immediately, and absolutely flies in use. Well worth upgrading.

Sony - 4K Upscale Blu-ray Player bdp-s7200

The first bdp-s7200 I had replaced because the functions on the player and remote stopped opporating when steeming amazon programmes/movies. It would not even turn off manualy had to unplug it and reset it to start the player working. Unfortunatly this happed with the second bdp-s7200 I recieved. No problems with disks they are ok Player connected directly to internet so not sure why this happens. Tryed to get a second exchange from the supplier but out of replacement warrenty

First rate Blu-Ray player

This was bought to supplement an existing DVD player following a TV upgrade to 4KHD. It is a high specification machine, and pleasingly compact in design, which is easy to set up and fully compatible with its partner Sony TV. Indeed, a number of features are duplicated: I guess it would be possible to go for a lower specification and rely solely upon the linked TV for some of the more elaborate features. That said, the machine's technical performance is outstanding with beautiful sound and superb picture clarity. The biggest surprise has been the way standard DVDs are played back with enhanced quality. Whilst all BluRay players do this, the enhancing software in this player makes all the difference. Apart from the odd stutter caused by the unreliability of rural broadband, and a rather small remote, so far the player has been trouble free and very successful. Recommended - but, as ever: shop around carefully, as there are considerable variations in price in the marketplace; and, do not skimp on the quality of the HDMI cable to connect the player to the system in use.

sony bdp s7200

Got a Sony bdp s7200 as a Christmas present & I have been blown away by its performance.Its picture is first class, so life like with great depth & colours are amazing & natural. The sound is great to, it adds more oomph to my sound bar with great clarity its almost like being in a cinema. The setup was dead easy and fast. Loading times on bluray is fast. The internet apps are also great & Netflix looks great & works brilliantly.oh & its a proper size bluray player not these small dinky one with no display.

Sony BDP-S7200

I bought the Sony BDP-S7200 to replace an early Sony Blu-ray player which had performed flawlessly. It is in use with a Sony Bravia 46” TV and a Sony 5.1 surround sound system. It could benefit with some more connectivity for legacy equipment, but saying that it has just enough to connect up – no extras. The best sound quality I’ve had so far, using the same surround system.
The machine build quality is great and looks good, fitting in nicely with my existing set-up. It is easy to operate and starts up/ready to go quicker than my last one. One nice feature is that it will play files formatted in NTFS, this is good for the movies on my HDD that are larger that 4GB, (the old player would not do that), you do need a HDD with its own power supply though.
The picture quality and sound is really very good, the only downside is that the menus look really dated, in fact the user menu is the same as the first generation Blu-Ray players and could do with a major overhaul.
The amount of “Apps” that you have in the smart menu is quite disappointing, I think Sony should now be including ITV Player, (or ITV Hub as it’s now known), also All 4 should be there. All these and more are free internet catch up Apps and should be included.
The remote control is small, but logically laid out and quick to respond, it does however feel a little cheap and for the cost I would have expected one with back lit buttons, perhaps I was spoilt as my last Sony player did, and it was a lot cheaper.
Overall it is a very good player and worth recommending.

Almost perfect - but with one catch...

Would love to give this player 5 stars. The picture quality is spot on and the sound quality is a step up from anything else I've owned. The Dolby decoder on the S7200 is far superior to my Yamaha RX-V671's own internal decoder and there's a noticeable increase in range and surround immersion. To be able to benefit from the S7200 Dolby decoder you need to set the S7200 to PCM. But... there's a catch Dolby TrueHD 5.1, Dolby TrueHD 7.1, & Dolby Digital 5.1 only play in stereo!! All other Dolby formats are trouble free but there's limitation on the S7200 which means you have to switch back to bitstream and let your AVR do the decoding for the above formats :(
If you have a very high end AVR/Separate Audio Processor which has a decoder equal to or superior to the S7200, then this is a 5 star system. Alternatively if you have a PS3/PS4 then there's no advantage (other than form factor) to owning then S7200.

So Far So Good.

Have only recently bought this and have had very limited time to use it. So far I am very pleased with it. The main reason I bought this model rather than the cheaper version is because of its larger size which allowed me to put something else on top of it plus of course it had a better "spec"

It was a very good machine until it let me down.

I purchased this player based on What HiFi reviews but after owning it for a short time it locked up with a Blu-ray disc inside and nothing I could do would cause it to respond in any way.My attempts to use the Sony website were also futile so I had to destroy it in order to retrieve the trapped disc. I had this happen with another Sony Blu-ray player some time ago with the same result. I shall not be buying any Sony items ever again.

Great picture and feature set

I purchased this based on several reputable reviews. Upon opening the box, I was immediately impressed with the weight of the player, very solid build and nice finish.
It has a broad feature set and, the wi-fi is rock solid. Remote is very nicely sized and has all that you need no more.
My one major disappointment is, there are no analogue sound outputs, to allow me to connect it to my hi-fi! Although it has a digital coaxial output, for me this is of no use. Because of this I cannot enjoy the full benefit of the players sound.
Other than this I am very pleased with it.

Good, but...

Bought this 2 months ago, picture great, sound awesome, but youtube stopped working, says format not supported, and on occassion the controls freeze, ie: stop and puase will not work, and somtimes it wont turn off, the "off" symbol keeps on flashing and in the the end you have to unplug it.

Great Online Featured Blu-ray player

I am impressed that so much more than a Blu-ray player is built in to the box. Using the player to watch online content via Wi-Fi as well as Blu-rays is a real positive for anyone with an older HD TV. Picture & Sound quality are excellent. It's good to be able to still get full size products, in keeping with ones existing units. Just waiting to get some 4K discs to start exercising the player.

Product unsatisfactory

Had to return this. It played DVDs beautifully and the picture resolution was excellent. However, as we could not get it to connect to Amazon Prime through the SONY server/system, we returned it and bought a Samsung, which connected straight away.

Great Value BluRay

I'm very happy with this player. HD picture quality is phenomenal. I have it connected to an LG OLED tv. Added to that you get hires audio playback and like the picture, the audio is fantastic. The only downside is that the menus look really dated and could do with a major update. Rating marked down but one point for this reason.

Lots of problems

BDPS7200 22/06/2015 by diligent (USA)Verified Purchaser Verified

We purchased a lesser quality SONY Blu ray player. It was very cheaply made and it failed. The door wouldn't open and disks were caught inside. The only way to extract the disk was a complete reboot and then it would only last for one or two times. Under warranty we decided to buy the BDPS7200. It was rated high so we asked SONY to credit us with the cost of the one that failed so that we could purchase the better model. SONY agreed. The construction of the BDPS7200 is clearly superior hence we though we made a smart purchase. However, this model requires a minimum of 2 MBPS streaming to be able to connect to the internet - hence, we could no longer access NETFLIX since our internet is only 1.5 MBPS. We looked into upgrading the internet connectivity. In the meanwhile the door on the new model locked up. Like the cheaper model it required a rebooting almost after every DVD was played. We returned the player which was still under warranty. SONY replaced the player. However, we decided we had enough of SONY Blu rays. We gave it to our grandson - an engineer - he has a 10 MBPS internet connection. We bought a different brand - which, so far appears to work as advertised including operating with our 1.5 MBPS internet connection.

Hi diligent, we regret that the player did not live up to your expectation and We certainly empathize with your disappointment. Please check this link with regard to the tray of the Blu-ray player dones't open. https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30451/p/47329,47564,91684/c/65,66/kw/the%20disc%20tray%20wont%20open.

Good Value Quality Player

This replaced a much more expensive six year old player and I'm pleased that the picture and sound seem as good as those from the older machine.
I'm very pleased with the basic performance and operation of the Sony BP S7200 which is definitely a step up from the present mainstream players and it is great value for money.
Playback settings and features are limited as are the outputs, but the Sony does the basics really well.
I have no access to 4k or 3D material, so cannot comment on those capabilities.
Smart wireless features are easy to set up and internet links, streaming services (including Netflix) are straightforward to access.
The design is clean, simple and inoffensive. Although it feels light and the disc tray is flimsy/noisy, it all works well.
The remote control is small, but logically laid out and quick to respond.
The "resume" function is reluctant to work on most Blu ray discs I have played. Sony say that the resume feature relies on the disc content (true), but my previous player "resumed" discs that the Sony won't.
The manual gives clear information about set up and general use, but gives little or no useful information about the custom settings, the real nature of various picture settings/enhancements, Sony present this as a "plug and play" machine whereas it is rather better than that.

BEST OF THE BEST

BDPS7200 03/05/2015 by MikeofStDavid (USA)Verified Purchaser Verified

I cant say much about the BDPS7200 blu-ray dvd disc player because I did not used it that much yet. Only thing I can say is that setup was a breeze and playing a blu-ray disc was nothing less than perfect. Unfortunately the disc( Training Day with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke) was not a 3d ,had no special feature and no bd live option nor any spectacular scenery to test the quality of the image, but I can say that there were no flaws, no bumps or pops nor sound problems. My TV is a Samsung 40 inches HD flat screen with no 3D option.
So I am for now very satisfied with this player and very impressed with all the additional features it comes with. I would recommend it to my friends.

very nice looking player

The user menu is the same as the first generation bdp players and is not so smooth looking interface. The mains plug is hard wired to unit so I had to make a bigger hole in my cabinet for it to fit through. But a nice looking unit

Excellent quality

Excellent item. I have not had the opportunity to try out the 4K up-scaling as I don't yet have a 4K TV. But the picture quality and sound is excellent on my HD Ready Bravia set. However, I was disappointed to find it doesn't play ISO files. My own fault as I never thought to check before buying. But MKV is playable. Online players are very limited but I don't need it for that so it doesn't concern me.

4k Upscale blu ray 3d

I bought my new 4k up-scaling blue ray player to work along side my Sony 65" 4K T.V. I bought directly from Sony and my DA5600ES sound system linked to seven speakers I bought from a Sony dealer. This whole set up is my pride and joy.
what I've noticed more than anything is playing a normal blu ray 3D film such as Judge Dredd which is up-scaled to 4k by my player, the incredible clarity and slow motion scenes spilling out of the T.V. is unbelievable I have friends round who are knocked out by the whole set up.
Thank you so much Sony

best of the best

I purchased this blue ray player after seeing how many top awards it has received. By far the best player I have owned playback is pretty much instant from any disc with exceptional picture quality and sound, the player is also rather heavy compared to other blu rays which is a sign of excellent build quality.

Great product at a great price!

I bought the BDP-S7200 to replace a BDP-S350, which was increasingly rejecting discs, not playing both layers and taking a considerable time to load BD-ROM’s.
For £10 more than I paid more my previous player, I am amazed at the picture sharpness and improved sound quality through my 40” W4000 television and RHT-G900 base unit. BD discs and HDD content load much quicker. Listening to D.S.o.T.M on SACD is fantastic. Interestingly, Sony advise against disc or head cleaning.
Internet set-up is easy as long as you connect ALL units into a Powerline adapter, if you’re using one. I’m not sure if the built-in Wi-Fi will act as a home booster though. Amazon Prime comes down the telephone much quicker too and internet content can adjusted for best playback.
Some reviewers have said that the unit is too light; I have no problem with its weight, as long as internal moving parts are metal. Furthermore some people don’t like the layout of the remote. Again I have no problem with this, however a heavier remote would be easier to handle!
I am still trying to set up Sony Tv Side View and I haven’t used the Miracast function yet.
Given that this unit will probably be bought by “enthusiasts”, I suggest that more technical information is provided by Sony in relation to the considerable number of adjustments that can be made.
Overall this is a great machine at a great price!
